This happens because sbuild runs the "dh clean" (actually, the "debian/rules clean" target) step *outside* of the chroot, before the build actually starts. This means that sbuild expects you to have the build deps installed on your host. This is usually not desirable/required, so you can tell sbuild to not clean the source tree by passing the --no-clean-source option to it, or by adding the line "$clean_source = 0;" to your ~/.sbuildrc.
